Week 9 Run 1 - pure joy

Today I ran for 30 mins, through mud, without stopping. I can’t believe it. I feel unstoppable. Not only that but I enjoyed it! I changed my route slightly, popped in my headphones and off I went. The last 8 mins or so were a little tough but not terrible at all. I almost can’t wait to get out and do it all over again!
